Apprising Ministries has previously warned you about Peter Scazzero, the founder and senior pastor of New Life Fellowship Church, e.g. in Peter Scazzero Introducing Enneagrams Into Mainstream Evangelicalism. Scazzero is actually a leading perpetrator of corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) a la gurus Dallas Willard and his spiritual twin Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster.

Apprising Ministries had long covered the false teaching of former icon of the Emerging Church, and now TV producer, Rob Bell. You might recall a little over a year ago he openly revealed his Love Wins mythology. Not long after that Bell would depart from Mars Hill Bible Church. He would be replaced by his good […]
